Wishin’ and hopin’ and waitin’

Logan Murphy, Crooks and Liars: On tonight’s Countdown, Keith Olbermann lays out a timeline of the Bush administration’s shell game leading up to the surge and how every time they were asked about details, the press and the American people were continually told to wait. Ret.

In the end, Wilkerson rightfully shows his disgust with Democrats as they cower in fear of right-wing talking points and show no sign of true leadership in ending the nightmare. This is a long clip, but we’re always trying to bring you as much content as possible and it’s definitely worth it. (Click the pic for the vid.)
